Spring 2017 Lavery Library Newsletter

Fisher Scholarship Celebration 2016

On October 25th Lavery Library held the annual Fisher Scholarship Celebration, recognizing the work done by Fisher faculty and staff during the prior academic year. As in past years, the Dr. Mark Szarejko Faculty Information Literacy Award was also given out, this year to Dr. Joellen Maples.
Over 65 people submitted approximately 50 works for this event. At that time, over 1800 works had been added to Fisher Digital Publications, and there had been over 400,000 downloads of Fisher scholarly work throughout the world. By now, that number has only grown. At this event, many Fisher faculty and staff were given the opportunity to share their research with the campus as a whole.

chance to win a weekly prize. More information coming soon, so keep an eye out! This is a great opportunity to help students see what a wonderful resource the librarians at the Research Help Desk can be.

Hey students, we are so excited you’re back; it was getting a little too quiet in the library. Over break we caught up on a lot of work . . . answering email, attending meetings, ordering new books, reading email, coming up with great new displays, answering email, processing new books, oh, and did I mention the email?

We are excited for you to fill the empty spaces.

Remember, when research assignments start rolling in over the next few weeks, make your life easier and stop at the Research Help Desk; for hours check the library homepage or here. New this semester: weekly prize drawing for students who use the Research Help Desk services. Ask a librarian for details!!!

But really, we did miss all of you, especially the energy you bring to the library. So, welcome back and have a great semester!!
